Fan-favorite Ford SUV gets major interior upgrade for 2025 with Google and Zoom options – but app access is limited

A POPULAR Ford SUV will see a major interior upgrade in 2025 to incorporate Google and Zoom options as part of a new tech package.

The carmaker has managed to pack in all the extra features while maintaining a “hard cap” on the price.

The Explorer has been on the market since 1991 and is consistently one of Ford’s best-sellers in North America.

Produced at the brand’s Chicago factory, it is even sold to law enforcement departments across the country as the Ford Police Interceptor Utility.

The model was renewed for a sixth generation in 2022, while a hybrid version was introduced in 2022.

But the 2025 model year will see a mid-generation design refresh, with particular focus on the interior.

The most significant addition is a completely digital dashboard, with everything controlled from a 13.2″ touchscreen coupled with a 12.3″ LED gauge panel.

This also incorporates Google Assistant, which brings with it the full range of apps from the platform.

The voice control software can handle most driver commands, while there’s also Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for those who prefer to do it manually.

There’s even Zoom video conferencing software folded into the package.

However, as you might expect, this does come with some restrictions, with drivers only able to use the video call feature while parked safely.

That’s not to say there have been no exterior tweaks, though, as Ford seeks to freshen up the model’s look.

Customers can now pick from some new paint job options, while the grille has been enlarged and the head and tail lights redesigned.

One of the most unexpected changes is the removal of the locking differential, which reduces the Explorer’s off-road abilities quite substantially.

The all-wheel-drive system and V6 engine options mean it’s still suited to the occasional dirt track, but the more hardcore stuff is best left to others.

On the bright side, Ford have managed to keep a “hard cap” on the model’s price, with the Explorer famously described as the “fastest SUV under $60,000”.

The base level Active trim is priced from $39,755, while the ST version is $44,515 and the range-topping Platinum variant clocks in at $52,150.

It comes after Google unveiled a free feature which could help drivers avoid speeding tickets.

Who was Roy Raymond? The triumph and tragedy of Victoria’s Secret’s founder

WHEN you think of Victoria’s Secret, images of supermodels wearing nothing but lingerie and angel wings come to mind.

However, the underwear giant’s history goes back long before the famous catwalk show was even thought of, and it all started with Roy Raymond.

The famous brand was launched in the late 70s

Victoria’s Secret was set up by American businessman Roy Raymond and his wife, Gaye, in 1977 after he struggled to buy lingerie for her.

He reportedly felt uncomfortable in underwear stores because of how frumpy the selection was that was on offer.

Roy also felt that the female staff didn’t take him seriously.

Speaking to Newsweek at the time, he said: “When I tried to buy lingerie for my wife, I was faced with racks of terry-cloth robes and ugly floral-print nylon nightgowns.

“And I always had the feeling the department store sales women thought I was an unwelcome intruder.”

With this in mind, Roy set about creating Victoria’s Secret.

Victoria’s Secret’s is born

Fans of the brand have often wondered how the name Victoria’s Secret came about.

The lingerie shop is named after the Victorian era, and the secret nature of underwear during that time.

Roy also wanted to emulate in his stores, the vibe of boudoirs in that time period.

He wanted his brand to evoke the sense of Victorian sophistication while being suggestive of women’s ‘secret’ underwear. 

Stylish women of this time wore an array of undergarments, from corsets to petticoats to suspenders.

As this clothing was kept a secret under their long dresses, the idea of this lent itself to the name of the lingerie brand and Victoria’s Secret was born.

First ever store

Roy opened his first Victoria’s Secret store in the suburbs of San Francisco in 1977.

In order to do this, the Stamford graduate took out a $40K loan.

Believing in the store’s success he also borrowed the same amount of money from his relatives.

The idea turned out to be successful and by 1982 Roy had opened six stores.

He also launched catalog sales, where people could purchase lingerie from their homes.

Tragic death

Despite the company’s success, Roy faced financial difficulties, which saw him sell Victoria’s Secret to Leslie Wexner, the owner of The Limited stores.

The sale went through and the company was sold for $4 million.

The brand then branched out globally, and was soon worth a lot more than it had been sold for.

Sadly in 1993, Roy took his own life.

Victoria’s Secret as it is today

In modern day, Victoria’s Secret is known for its catalogue of supermodels aka Angels, and of course their annual fashion show. 

Over the years huge stars like Tyra Banks, Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima and Heidi Klum have strutted their stuff at the famous event.

The highly-anticipated show promotes the lingerie giant’s new seasons of lingerie, swimwear and loungewear.

Victoria’s Secret now has stores all over the world and is estimated to be worth around £2 billion.

‘Diva’ Meghan Markle ‘didn’t like what she saw or her wings being clipped’, claims Jennie Bond on Kate Middleton feud

MEGHAN Markle has been branded a “diva” who “didn’t like her wings being clipped”, according to esteemed royal commentator Jennie Bond.

The former BBC royal correspondent insisted that the Duchess of Sussex could have been an asset for the royal family, but she wasn’t happy during her time there.

Speaking to Bella, Jennie claimed: “Meghan could have been such a credit to the royal family – she is an independent, forthright woman with her own career, her own thoughts, her own charities and causes.

“She could have been exactly what a modern monarchy needs. I think the monarchy didn’t act as carefully as they should have done. 

“But Meghan is by all accounts a bit of a diva. She didn’t like what she saw, and she didn’t like her wings being clipped.”

This comes as Meghan and Kate have both returned to the public eye in separate continents.

The Princess of Wales has undergone two recent official visits following her announcement that she has finished her chemotherapy treatment.

The first was meeting cancer-stricken 16-year-old Liz Hatton, and the second was sitting down with victims of the Southport attack.

Meanwhile, we saw the Duchess of Sussex looking glamorous in a recycled red dress on the red carpet at the LA Children’s Hospital gala earlier this month.

The swanky appearance was Meghan’s first solo venture in months.

Jennie added: “Catherine and Meghan are indeed two very different women and are now on very different paths.

“Everything Catherine does is to help others: the disadvantaged, the young and now those suffering from cancer. 

“It’s not for money, or fame or self aggrandisement. It is to help people who are in trouble or difficulty and to do good.”

The royal expert claimed Meghan is also using her “star power” to draw attention to good causes, but said she is “very active in the commercial world”, and is also pursuing financial ventures to support their new life in California.

Although the two women both married into the royal family, they appear to be on very different paths, with Kate focusing on the future of the monarchy now doctors have given her the all clear to phase back into work.

Meanwhile, Meghan’s upcoming ventures include a Netflix cooking show about friendship and her lifestyle brand American Orchard Riviera.

Tense friendship

The royal wives have had a number of alleged moments of tension of the years, including Meghan telling Oprah Winfrey Kate that made her cry just days before her wedding.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry recalled in his bombshell memoir Spare that the women had a bust-up after Meghan made a comment about Kate’s hormones.

During an interview with The Cut, Meghan was asked if she thought there was hope of a reconciliation between her and the rest of the royal family.

Meghan said: “I think forgiveness is really important. It takes a lot more energy to not forgive.

“But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. 

“I’ve really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can say anything.

“I have a lot to say until I don’t. Do you like that? Sometimes, as they say, the silent part is still part of the song.”

Meghan Markle's 'jarring' first meeting with Kate Middleton

MEGHAN and Kate are said to have had a rather fractious relationship, and the American actress revealed what happened on their first meeting.

After announcing their engagement, Meghan and Harry gave an interview to the BBC’s Mishal Husain from their home Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace.

During the interview, Meghan praised the Royal Family, The Queen and her future sister-in-law Kate Middleton for all being so welcoming.

However, Meghan claimed there was a difference between how formal she and Kate were behind closed doors.

In her Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, the Duchess said: “Even when Will and Kate came over and I was meeting her for the first time I remember I was in ripped jeans, I was barefoot. 

“Like I was a hugger, I have always been a hugger I didn’t realise that is really jarring for a lot of Brits.

“I started to understand that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside, that there is a forward facing way of being and then you close the door and think ‘OK we can relax now’. 

“But that formality carries over on both sides and that was surprising to me.”
